this back and forth had been going on for five months, and you were both getting really fucking tired of it.

ethan carpenter was the most unlikely person to be in a relationship. basketball star, hooked up with everyone, and acted like he didn’t have the heart to love anyone. until he met you. technically, you were his twin’s, Jacob, friend— but there was something about you. something that made him want to be a boyfriend.

which is also how the two of you ended up in this. a five month breakup-get back together situation. every. fucking. week. it was exhausting.

he couldn’t give you the love that you wanted, and you couldn’t let him go.

it sucked, but you couldn’t just stop it. he had known you for years, loved you, even if he never admitted it.

tonight, you’re in his new porsche, but there’s nothing happy about it. the air is stiff, and neither of you are talking.

the day prior, you had almost broken up again, but instead just walked away from each other. leading to this.

it was silent. so you broke it.

“we’re drifting apart, ethan.”

he clenches his jaw and looks out the window.

“yeah, I fucking know.”
